 Coolness: 201235 | If we are comparing avid express, which is probably the closest to final cut pro, on both platforms... Same price. In fact you get both versions when you buy it.
I'm pretty certain that the cheapest pc desktop or laptop that could run it would cost less than the cheapest mac that could run it. Update » nothingnopenope wrote on Tue Nov 14, 2006 @ 4:41pm * Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2
* QuickTime 7.1 or later; Windows Media Player 10 (with version 9.5 codecs) * 1 GB system memory minimum, 2 GB recommended for HD or high-stream count SD projects * One of the following processors: (minimum speed listed) o Xeon 2.4 Ghz (single or dual core) o Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13 Ghz (workstations) o Intel Core Duo 1.67 Ghz o Pentium 4 1.8 Ghz o Pentium M 1.8 Ghz (mobile) o Pentium D 1.7 Ghz (mobile) * Qualified graphics card (per model, as supported by system vendors) * Qualified IEEE-1394 FireWire port (integrated or add-in card; Avid Mojo is not supported on notebook systems with PCMCIA cards of any kind) * 40 GB or larger internal drive * DVD-ROM or DVD+RW drive Mac OS X 10.4.6 and 10.4.7. * Earlier versions of Mac OS X are not supported. * Avid does not recommend updating to Macintosh OS X 10.4.8 until further notice * Mac OS X 10.4.7 requires Avid Xpress Pro version 5.5.2 or later software # PowerMac G5 and PowerBook models only. * Universal Binaries for Mac Intel will be supported in a future release # System memory (same requirements for software-only, with Avid Mojo or with Avid Mojo SDI) * 1 GB system minimum * 2 GB recommended for HD or high-stream count SD projects # A graphics adapter supported by Apple – 128MB (or higher) memory on graphics card # Apple native FireWire, included with all qualified systems # 40 GB or larger internal SATA boot drive # CD or DVD-ROM drive or DVD+RW drive # QuickTime 7.1 or later |

 Coolness: 83885 | yeah but its still an xpress version that still doesn't compare to final cut or the higher priced avid suites...
not to mention if you got that open along with photoshop and after effects... on a windows p.c. your just askin' for trouble. lets not forget the point of having a "proffesional workstation" is acctually getting some work done ;oP anyway... we both know we can argue about this until we are blue in the face if we wanted to from either side of the fence (mac or p.c.)... and i'm pretty sure we both use both platforms anyway... and are pretty clear on what we both are saying. so i think we just say scotty and george win and rest of [ rave.ca ] loves the cock? |

on a windows p.c. your just askin' for trouble. Windows can multi task 3 applications just fine. Update » nothingnopenope wrote on Tue Nov 14, 2006 @ 5:20pm well the truth is the only people who win are the ones who can afford all this fancy crap |

System ram fine, but i was stuck at 1024x768 and you could feel the lack of videocard.. :P jumping icons got choppy, but the actual programs loaded and ran fast. It was a P4 2.8Ghz with 1GB ram and an asus mobo. |
